BSO Mountain Biking - Core Skills Session

Preview

Improve your MTB riding

Suitability: From 9 yrs

This course does exactly what is says on the tin! Your ‘Core Skills’ are the essential building blocks to good, solid and safe riding at any level. Whether you just enjoy a blast around a trail centre or a fun XC ride over the hills, our coaches will help identify habits and areas of your riding that are holding you back. They'll also help you look at ways to improve your riding and find your ‘flow’. Flow = more fun on the trails, so what are you waiting for?

Recommended kit

You will need your own mountain bike in good working order. There will be a few bikes available to hire from Thornbridge Outdoors but these are on a first come first served basis and numbers are limited.

It is a good idea to have your own puncture repair kit

Helmet and gloves

Clothing and footwear appropriate for cycling

Waterproofs in case of rain

Parents must attend with the kids (they can just observe)

Medication if you need it.

Meeting times and logistics

Please be at the SofA meeting point at least 10 minutes prior to your course start time. This will give you plenty of time to meet your instructor, get your bike checked over and maximise your experience. If you are late your course will start without you.
